Goldman Sachs leads the way on in-house advice

Wall Street's biggest names showed their enthusiasm for their own in-house advisers last week, but none as emphatically as Goldman Sachs.

Chase Manhattan and JP Morgan boosted their league table rankings by advising themselves on their $34bn (€39bn) merger, while Goldman Sachs also decided it did not need any help on its $7.5bn acquisition of the New York marketmaker Spear, Leeds & Kellog for $7.5bn.
